Beskrivelse af The Body Scout
In this “timeless and original” sci-fi thriller (New York Times), a hardboiled baseball scout must solve the murder of his brother in a world transformed by body modification, perfect for readers of William Gibson and Max Barry.An Esquire Pick for the Top 50 Sci-Fi Books of All TimeA New York Times Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Novel of 2021"A breathlessly paced techno-thriller characterized by stunning, spiky worldbuilding." — EsquireIn the future you can have any body you want—as long as you can afford it.But in a New York ravaged by climate change and repeat pandemics, Kobo is barely scraping by. He scouts the latest in gene-edited talent for Big Pharma-owned baseball teams, but his own cybernetics are a decade out of date and twin sister loan sharks are banging down his door. Things couldn't get much worse.Then his brother—Monsanto Mets slugger J.J. Zunz—is murdered at home plate.Determined to find the killer, Kobo plunges into a world of genetically modified CEOs, philosophical Neanderthals, and back-alley body modification, only to quickly find he's in a game far bigger and more corrupt than he imagined. To keep himself together while the world is falling apart, he'll have to navigate a time where both body and soul are sold to the highest bidder.Diamond-sharp and savagely wry, The Body Scout is a timely science fiction thriller debut set in an all-too-possible future."I devoured it." —Jonathan Lethem"Completely weird and still completely real. Delightful—I couldn't put it down."—Shea Serrano
